TrajectoryPhase.SRPArea Property

 Top 

Description

The SRP Area is the incident cross sectional area to the Sun-Earth line. It is used in the calculation of the force on the spacecraft due to solar radiation pressure.

 

If the TrajectoryPhase's ForceModel.SRPForceGeometry is set to use a PlateModel then this property will have no effect (PlateModel usage is not supported with the TrajectoryPhase object).
